Please 🙂 Could somebody help me with directions on how to get this working. I have read the entire thread and searched the web, but I still can't figure out what to do 😞 I got it working on my Linux Mint laptop, but I cannot get my Unraid box to discover my Huawei USB stick (that I have tried flashing to work in "stick mode") as a modem. Nothing shows up in /dev/ttyUSB*, just a stupid CD-ROM device and a TF Card Storage - no modem When I plug the same USB modem into my Linux Mint laptop, it connects as a ttyUSB0 modem. Please provide me with some clues on how to continue 🙂 TIA /Jon [177973.037813] usb 3-6: new high-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd [177973.275094] usb-storage 3-6:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [177973.275350] scsi host5: usb-storage 3-6:1.0 [177974.320796] scsi 5:0:0:0: CD-ROM HUAWEI Mass Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 [177974.321184] sr 5:0:0:0: Power-on or device reset occurred [177974.322018] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] scsi-1 drive [177974.322531] sr 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 [177974.322590] sr 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 5 [177974.336061] scsi 5:0:0:1: Direct-Access HUAWEI TF CARD Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 [177974.336145] sd 5:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 [177974.337180] sd 5:0:0:1: Power-on or device reset occurred [177974.337577] sd 5:0:0:1: [sde] Media removed, stopped polling [177974.337725] sd 5:0:0:1: [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk [177976.380307] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s [177976.380311] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 Sense Key : 0x3 [current] [177976.380312] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x0 [177976.380313] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 00 8d fc 00 00 02 00 [177976.380314] critical medium error, dev sr0, sector 145392 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [177976.494971] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s [177976.494975] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 Sense Key : 0x3 [current] [177976.494976] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x0 [177976.494977] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 00 8c 80 00 00 3c 00 [177976.494978] critical medium error, dev sr0, sector 143872 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x84700 phys_seg 16 prio class 2 [177976.501695] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s [177976.501698] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 Sense Key : 0x3 [current] [177976.501699] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x0 [177976.501700] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 00 8c bc 00 00 04 00 [177976.501701] critical medium error, dev sr0, sector 144112 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 2 prio class 2 [177976.509105] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s [177976.509110] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 Sense Key : 0x3 [current] [177976.509110] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x0 [177976.509112] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 00 8c 80 00 00 02 00 [177976.509112] critical medium error, dev sr0, sector 143872 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 2 [177976.509117] Buffer I/O error on dev sr0, logical block 17984, async page read [177976.516427] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s [177976.516430] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 Sense Key : 0x3 [current] [177976.516431] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x0 [177976.516432] sr 5:0:0:0: [sr0] tag#0 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 00 8d fa 00 00 02 00 [177976.516433] critical medium error, dev sr0, sector 145384 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 1 prio class 2

@NeoID: can you explain how you used USB modeswitch? I'm having the exact same problem (connecting a Huawei modem) 😐

I'm having the same issue. How did this end? Can I find the needed modules somewhere?

How did you use USB modeswitch? I'm trying to connect a USB Huawei modem to create a SMS gateway, but the USB device only shows up as a CD-ROM. My search has led me to believe that I either need to "hack" the modem or use USB modeswitch. I would like to use modeswitch
